The FBI and the KKK: A Critical History

by Michael Newton

Overview

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ku Klux Klan share a long and complicated history.

Beginning with their first confrontation in 1922, this book examines the similarities, covert collaborations and common goals of the FBI and the KKK. After briefly describing the history of each, it explores the development of their association and the specific ways in which each organization furthered the other's goals. The book traces eighty years of parallel development and the conservative attitudes that, astonishingly, drew the FBI and the KKK together.
